Cajun Moon Lyrics - Singles - Ricky Skaggs

The moon is full and my heart is why 

I love to dance oh me, oh my 

Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon 

Tonight's the dance of the Cajun noon. 

[Chorus] 

Cajun moon nugget of gold 

River of light on the bayou 

You're just like rain 

To a love in bloom so 

Shine on me oh, Cajun moon. 

Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack 

Bonfires draw in a crowd out back 

Step through the door and I see my Sheri 

That's when I see her mamas eyes on me. 

[Chorus] 

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow 

Little band a-playin' every song they know 

Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more 

My heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore! 

[Chorus] 

Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond 

I lean in closer and Sheri responds 

Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room 

To sit and stare at the Cajun noon. 

[Chorus]
